I just had a long conversation with this nut job that was trying to convince me the change in magnetic poles was going to coincide with the end of the mayan calender (2012) and would be the end of mankind...
good times.
Hello. I'm fairly new to posting on slashdot, although I've been reading it for a while. Who has the power to mod, anyways? Do we? Or is it only the moderators of the forum (that's a LOT of posts to read!). I haven't been able to figure out how to mod someone else's post.
"There is no question that cruise missile, UAV, bio-warfare, chemical weapons technology, and probably nuclear technologies will all continue to fall in cost significantly for the foreseeable future."
How much longer before any of these can be purchased at the local cornerstore?
Beer, Smokes, and... oh look! 2-for-1 on mustard gas!
I think it'd cost a bit more than it's worth to send a probe all the way to titan just to bring back some oil. Then again, if that were the case, maybe NASA would devote a little more money to finding a green energy solution to get the probe there... Of course, a green energy solution would defeat the whole purpose of going to another planet to get oil in the first place....
Could you imagine gas prices if we had to go to titan to get oil??

So, it could still cause burns, skin cancer and nasty problems with the eyes in with constant exposure. Like beta radiation, right?
Do you have any better ideas?

Care to offer some advice?
Thanks.

Everyone knows tinfoil hats are the only way to keep Rumsfeld from reading your thoughts...
